make sure your sd card is formatted to FAT32. then place the PB31IMG.zip file on your card. HBOOT should then recognize it
That did the trick i thought i had formated fat32
again thanks for the assitance

I finally got around to rooting my 1.32 EVO. I used the method found here:

With one exception. Since I was intending to run this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743781
And he doesn't like clockwork, I flashed RA's recovery before the ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
The root seemed to work fine and I was able to flash just fine. The only problem is that now the SD card is dismounting every time I start up the phone. I know the SD card is fine because if I go into recovery it still sees the .zip files just fine. I've done some searching and some people seem to have the same problem and say that they format their SD card and then it works. Unfortunately, my USB microSD card reader recently failed so I have no way of accessing this card directly. Any suggestions?
Hi there!
i succesfully managed to flash my Htc desire to leedroid,
But, as i switch from 1Gb card to my 16Gb card i get stuck at the Bootloading..
My 1Gb card was the original Goldcard.
After a while i made the 16Gb to a goldcard, but i still fail to boot up my phone with the 16Gb card.
I've lost the track of how many times i've reflashed the phone.
I've only tried with the LeeDroid 2.1a A2SD and no other ROM's exept with failurs with RUU.
(with the RUU I flashed the Radio back to the original radio version but i still can't install it, but it said that i can't downgrade..)
But the main Question is: How do i make my second card to work?
(Btw how do i get the battery A in the pics on the thread about the Leedroid??)
Hoping someone had a tip to help me out. Im trying to get my radio updated so that I can properly run skyraider 3.3. I cant seem to get the radio to run in recovery when i try to book from the SD card. Am I missing something here? Any Ideas?
Is your sd card formatted FAT? The most common issue is not having your sd card formatted to FAT 32 , make sure it is for hboot to properly read it.
Is the file name proper? The zip file is case sensitive. Be sure the file name is in upper case before the dot and lower case after the dot.

Its properly formated as FAT. I cant seem to remember i left the name alone was this suppose to be update.zip on the root of the card? right now i have it in a sub file
The sd card should be FAT32 for hboot to properly see it, the file should be named PB31IMG.zip , and be on the root of the card.

Im pretty sure the SD card is formated correctly because its worked on all other flashes. Its still not taking the new radio even after showing its loading. It is formated as FAT 32. I have tried both the newest radios. When reading from Hboot it flashes bad image several times and then finally says checking the image and then nothing. Any other suggestions..... anyone?
Just to clarify Im trying to get skyraider 3.3.3 working (keeps rebooting on me after flashing it) someone said i needed to upgrade from the 2.05 radio. I have wiped. When it boots up to the setup screen it tells me that ROM manager has to be forced closed and then about 15 sec later it freezes and reboots.
I cant seem to get the radio to run in recovery when i try to book from the SD card.

You flash radios in BOOTLOADER not RECOVERY.

If you are 100% sure that you are formatted in FAT32 and have the file name correct then you possibly have the same problem i did which was my stock SD card went bad and I had to get another.
Hello,
Got another problem here. I've had CyanogenMod 7 installed and that worked perfectly.
My device is S-OFF and has the CM7 HBOOT.
I thought to give MIUI a shot, so i installed the latest version 1.4.8 A2SD version.
That one installed fine but it couldn't find my SD card for pictures, music... it said no SD was installed.
I went back in recovery, and yes.... i can't mount my SD card anymore. No ADB access, partitioning is no option as it is not there.
I pushed a new recovery (Amon RA recovery 2) but that doesn't help.
What went wrong ?
Fixed!
I really don't understand how these things can happen just by flashing a new rom, i feel that there are more problems than months ago. Anyway, i used this to fix:
'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0'
Cheers
Hi there,
I am glad you found a solution. What i found was when trying to copy an .apk file from my laptop to my desire 8gb card( FAT, 1GB Ext 4, 300MB Ext 4, Swap ) i could never access the file. In fact, SDcard Mounted readonly pops up if i go to the directory where the file is using Astro explorer. My Rom is RCmixHD 3.5 rotating. Even if i create a few folders and then put the file in, i can go as far as where the file is. Maybe the file is corrupt?
Anyway, where is the rom you flashed and is it a patch of some sort? Thanks.
I have spent many a night trying to figure out exactly what is the cause that a SD mounts as read only while attempting to perform certain functions, but works fine if you use the same SD card in another device. The only conclusion I have is, I assume that the Desire doesn't like cheap cards. Things like class, capacity and brand are key regarding SD cards. So many check in those areas ...
I personally think its or the alpharev, or the Hboot.
I remember from the M8 days that you could flash a firmware through an external SD card by renaming it to a specific file name. I was wondering if this is possible on the HTC 10. Would be really convenient in the future.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2824048
It is.
2PS6IMG.zip
Be sure the android-info.txt is correct.
Zip normal compression is fine.
So you can confirm this does work? I loved having this back in the M8 days. It made updating firmwares a piece of cake.
I tried I couldn't get it to work. The file path it looks for is extsd and my phone doesnt label the card that. I tried to change the file name of my card to no avail. Any insight?
My sdCard is named 49C5-B086 and I put the file in Root there and it still works, says sd_ext in Download Mode.
So I guess my card isn't formatted to fat32. So how would I reformat my card
So basically it is not as easy as it once was? Before, you would just rename the file on your ext SD card and boot to hboot and it would automatically update for you.
Ive tried this with my VZW HTC 10. It appears to have flashed correctly, but when I reboot, my phone still shows to be on the older firmware. Any ideas?

Check your download mode. There is displayed the firmware number, you are probably referring to the software version in settings.
So now you have the new firmware and the old software. Those are 2 completely different things !
